Member Function Documentation

bool hitfit::Base_Constrainer::call_constraint_fcn ( Constraint_Calculator &  constraint_calculator, const Column_Vector &  x, const Column_Vector &  y, Row_Vector &  F, Matrix &  Bx, Matrix &  By  ) const

protected

Helper function to evaluate constraints. This takes care of checking what the user function returns againts numerical derivatives, it that was requested.

Purpose

Call the constraint function for the point (x,y). Return F, Bx, By, and a boolean flag saying if the point is acceptable. If test_gradient is on, we verify the gradients returned by also computing them numerically.

Parameters

constraint_calculator	the User-supplied object to evaluate the constraints.
x	Vector of well-measured quantities where we evaluate the constraints. Has dimension of Nw.
y	Vector of poorly-measured quantities where we evaluate the the constraints. Has dimension of Np.
F	Results of the constraint functions.
Bx	Gradients of F with respect to x, has dimension (Nw,Nc).
By	Gradients of F with respect to y, has dimension (Np,Nc).

Input:

constraint_calculator, x, y.

Output:

F, Bx, By.

Return:

true if the point (x,y) is accepted.
false if the point (x,y) is rejected
